Today’s guest is Jewels, the author of the book The Making of a Woman. She has spent lots of time considering the idea of the feminine and defining the characteristics of the masculine, so she is the perfect person to speak with about the interplay between masculine and feminine and the stigma of gender roles. I’m excited to share our conversation because Jewels has many characteristics that will resonate with you.

We talk about her experience with sexism in the bodybuilding community and how exploring BDSM helped her to empower herself and her exploration of gender. We also discuss why Jewels calls her sobriety a gift, why she consistently strives for balance, and the value in seeking pleasure for the sake of pleasure.

​​Jewels is the award-winning author of The Making of a Woman, a compelling autobiography of a dynamic female who refused to bow down to the circumstances of her birth. Jewels’ work revolves around the mission of connecting with people affected by addiction, both personally and through others.

Listen in to find out how to start exploring open relationships, why you should never take anything personally, and the many benefits of leg day.
